“You really think the Ukrainians killed their own Patriots?”
The only ‘Patriots’ that Ukraine’s government sees are Azov.
As far as regular Ukrainians, I agree, probably not.
As far as Ethnic Russians, given Ukraine’s history in Donbas, it would be a shock if they weren’t killing them for propaganda purposes, given the way the media’s behaving.
this is false
There are plenty of Ukrainians - including those whose parents came from Russia but who were born and lived in Ukraine - who are fighting Putin's army
Also "given history in Donbas" -- don't look only at the Russian propaganda. There were 14000 killed in the fighting over 8 years as per TASS, but out of those 3,500 were civilians, not the entire 14K
And this was not "killing for propaganda purposes", unlike Putin's army in Bucha etc.
